Our Favourite Christmas Recipes3 min read

At Kuchina, Christmas is one of our favourite times of the year! Not only does it conjure up memories of crisp winter mornings, twinkling fairy lights and the woody scent of Christmas trees, it’s the perfect time of year for aspiring chefs and home cooks to share their talents with family and friends.

As kitchen experts, we rejoice in the opportunity to make the most out of the best loved room in the house, as we prepare to feast on our favourite festive foods. So, in celebration of the most joyous occasion of the year, we’ve gifted you with Kuchina’s most beloved recipes and wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

STARTERSPrawn cocktails have reigned supreme on the dinner party scene since the 1970s, with the delicate taste of prawns with cayenne pepper and garlic packing a popular party punch! Another time-tested classic, devilled eggs are firm festive favourites, or try this smoked salmon blinis for easy-peasy showstoppers.

If starters are proving stressful, then just remember that you can never go wrong with a cheese-based offering. Whether you pair it with pastry, a la cheese & mustardstraws or turn cheese consumption into a family-bonding activity with this fondue recipe, cheese will always ‘brie’ a winner. Or, for the ultimate put-your-feet-up-while-it-cooks recipe, we love this baked camembert.

SIDES
Without exception, a Christmas Lunch/Dinner is incomplete without the humble roast potato. Whether you use goose fat, olive oil or butter, the trick is to par-boil, bash about for extra fluff & roast until crispy. Customise the seasonings to suit your taste-buds; choose from classic roasties, parmesan potatoes, or even turmeric taters! And divisive they may be, Brussel sprouts are essential to a festive feast. Try this vegan friendly chilli-charred recipe, which will have all your guests scrabbling for the last sprout.

DESSERT
Round off the year’s most indulgent meal with an array of indulgent desserts. Opt for a warming slice with a spice, with this easy ginger cake, or cool your palette with the citrusy zing of alemon meringue fridge cake. And chocoholics need not fear, as the dessert menu is guaranteed to feature several chocolatey options, from a classic yule log(or three) to a dazzling centrepiece in the form of a chocolate ice-cream bombe.
